Advice On Dutas Dosage Along Side Daily finasteride Dosage

[JohnOKelly]

Hey, I've posted a couple of threads in various parts of the forum looking for some advice on the next step.

Long story short, I've been on finasteride and minoxidil for over 10 years but I am now continuing to recede. Ideally, I'd like a bit of regrowth at the hairline but not so confident about that one, but I would definitely like to stop it receding further.

I've decided that maybe I should try Dutas at the same time as finasteride. However, I know little about the dosage of Dutas that should be taken. I was advised previously that Dutas three times a week is recommended but I can't find many threads where people share their opinions/experiences on this.

For starters, is adding Dutas very high risk? Ideally I'd like to get it off label from my Doctor but I'd need to show up with some clinical data to support it, which I don't currently have... Any studies I could link him to?

What dose along side finasteride is recommended? I'll admit, I'm not one for research, I don't have the head for it and find it all very hard to understand hence why I'm asking here.

Any advice, links to studies or threads would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Anyone have any advice on this?
I'll be going to my Doctor tomorrow so I'll need to know what dose of Dutas to take along side finasteride
Thanks

.5 mg /day is the standard dose. Maybe transition over. Most add dutasteride in and remove finasteride after a while.

I am considering staying on the finasteride as I have responded to that and may not respond in the same way to Dutas for whatever reason. So I'd be looking to add Dutas. I've read some threads where people are taking .5mg of dutasteride twice or three times a week on top of their daily dose of finasteride.
